COMPACT DISC (CD) PLAYER
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Music cannot be played back. The disc is inserted upside down.Insert a CD with the label side facing up.
Moisture condensation occurs inside the unit. Wait until the moisture evaporates (approximately 1 hour).
The cabin temperature is too high. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes moderate.
The disc is scratched or dirty. A disc is not always
playable if it is scratched. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
Depending on the condition in which they are
stored, discs may become unreadable due to
deterioration (for example, keeping the discs in the
passenger compartment, etc.). Change the disc with a deterioration-free disc. Do
not use a deteriorated disc. The label surface of the
disc may crack or chip, and the layer of the label
surface may eventually peel off.
The compressed audio files cannot be played back. If both music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files (MP3 data, etc.) are mixed on one disc,
the audio compression files cannot be played back.Prepare a disc that includes compressed audio files
only.
The files are not named using characters that are
compliant with the specifications. Use the character codes and the number of
characters that are compliant with the specifications
for folder names and file names. In addition, always
use
“.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3”or“.wma” for file
extensions.
It takes a long time before the music starts playing. The disc contains a large amount of data. Some time may be required to check the files. It is recommended that unnecessary folders or any files
other than compressed audio files should not be
recorded in a disc.
The sound quality is poor. The disc is dirty. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
No sounds are played though the CD play time is
displayed. The system plays back the first track of the mix
mode disc. (Mix mode is a format in which data
except music is recorded on the first track and
music data is recorded on one other than the first
track in a session.)Play back music data that are recorded on one other
than the first track.
Music cuts off or skips. The combination of writing software and hardware
might not match; or the writing speed, writing
depth, writing width, etc. might not match the
specifications. Create a disc using different writing speed settings,
etc.
The system skips the selected track and moves to
the next track. A non-MP3/WMA file is given an extension of
“.
MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3”or“.wma”. Prepare MP3/WMA files.
The system plays back a file that is prohibited due
to copyright protection. Prepare playable files.
The tracks do not play back in the desired order. The folder locations in the disc are changed by the writing software while the files are written in the
disc.Check the settings of the writing software, and
create a new disc.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not recognize the connection
of a cellular phone. The system does not
receive or make a call. The cellular phone is not compatible with the in-
vehicle hands-free phone system.
Use a cellular phone compatible with the system. Visit the
website (www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth) for model com-
patibility.
The cellular phone is not connected. Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
The phone operation is limited by the functions
(such as dial lock, etc.) of the registered cellular
phone. Remove any settings that are limiting use of the cellular
phone, and then perform registration again.
The other party cannot hear your voice. The
other party can hear your voice, but it cracks or
cuts out. The cellular phone is not connected.
Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
The fan speed of the air conditioner is too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the air conditioner.
The ambient noise level is excessive. (For example:
heavy rain, construction sites, inside a tunnel,
oncoming vehicles, etc.) Close the windows to shut out ambient noise.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too
loud. Reduce the vehicle speed, and then speak a command.
The incoming or outgoing voice level is too loud. Adjust the incoming or outgoing voice level properly.
The voice is cut out or noise is heard during a
call. The wireless Bluetooth
®connection may be dis-
rupted depending on the location of the cellular
phone. Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by
metal or far away from the in-vehicle hands-free phone
system. Do not place a cellular phone close to the seats
or your body.
When a cellular phone is operated to make a
call, the hands-free function becomes una-
vailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch to
the hands-free mode when they are operated to
make a call. This is not a malfunction. Make a call again using the
hands-free function.
The other party’s voice cannot be heard. There
is no ring tone. The volume level is set to the minimum.
Adjust the volume level.
A cellular phone is not connected. Check the registration procedure, and then register the

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ be-
tween Plan View and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations may
be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing on the
screen may be different because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the
correct position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
pushed off, for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a road
where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
depending on the driving environments and the levels of
positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a
period of time to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location”
(page 9-59)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new
road, the vehicle icon is located on another
road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road
available. Updated road information will be included in the
next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night
screen even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were
turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
<
>
when turning on the headlights.“Screen Settings” (page 2-16)
The map does not scroll even when the
vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.
